You can’t beat a gin cocktail, and they are always one of my first choice drinks when I’m at the bar.
You don’t have to go out to get your juniper fix, why not spice it up and try one of these quick and easy gin cocktail recipes at home. I think I’ll try a Pomegranate Gin Fizz.
Gin In the olden days got the nickname ‘Mother’s Ruin’ because it was actually safer to drink than water back then because at that time we didn’t have nice clean running water. The fact that gin wasn’t taxed either also made it cheaper than water too!
Ooh, I’ll drink to that… Cheers!
